Some disappointing news for American and European consumers today, Sony's Kazuo Hirai has confirmed the delay in the release of the PS Vita portable gaming console that was said to be released later this year, will be pushed back for an early 2012 release in the US and Europe. Japan on the other hand, will enjoy the PS Vita before Christmas pulls in this year. Seems only fair. The PS Vita will be available at aggressive price points starting with a WiFi-only model for $249, and a WiFi + 3G model for $299.
